Alex Rodriguez has several accomplishments to his name. A 14x All-Star player and a World Series Champion, A-Rod is a through-and-through New York Yankees legend. Despite his controversial past, his name is etched forever in baseball lore. But as time caught up with him and Rodriguez hung up his pinstripes in 2016, he took up other fields to excel at. Today, the former shortstop is a business owner with a net worth of millions of dollars. In addition, Rodriguez has also ventured into sports team ownership.

After a failed New York Mets bid, the former pro baseballer looked to the basketball world. Teaming up with the CEO of Jet.com, Marc Lore, he gained part ownership of the NBA team, Minnesota Timberwolves. Over the years, A-Rod has gotten closer to the players and recently even joined one of them at a game courtside.

Alex Rodriguez and Anthony Edwards enjoy Game 3 of Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics

The Miami Heat paid respect to their name and had a fiery game with the Boston Celtics. Game 3 yesterday saw A-Rod sitting courtside with the T-Wolves’ star player Anthony Edwards. The young player lives and breathes basketball and has been an asset to his team ever since his debut in 2020. Although, the Minnesota team seems to be struggling a bit right now.

Eliminated right in the first round, the Wolves were unable to make the playoffs this year, despite the tough battle they fought. Ant-Man stands as one of the centerpieces that the team revolves around, and A-Rod has certainly been trying his best to better the team.

He recently upped his ownership stake in the team to forty percent and being a team owner suits him. The Heat vs Celtics game provided a good bonding experience for Rodriguez and Edwards. But these two actually had something of a rocky start to their relationship.

Edwards didn’t know who A-Rod was

One would assume that growing up in the last few decades would mean an automatic acquaintance with popular names.
